upvc door odds and sods ?
(back to the repossessed house again) A couple of the doors need the multipoint locks engaging to stay shut, and on looking at it a little closer, there appears to be a plate that can be clamped onto another in the centre latch keep that will allow the door to be closed without engaging the multipoint locks (hard to describe unfortunately, but a very simple "device" in practice) - it just provides a ledge for the latch to "latch" behind. Not sure how this will come out in ascii, but to hell with it :-} / \ /___ \\ | // | \\ | - the door catch engages in a slot created by the plates // | \\ | / | \ | / | \__| I'd like to get another one of these plates, and some machine screws to suit (the thread diameter only looks about 3mm) but not sure what they're called - and without wanting to go through the hassle of replacing the entire centre latch keep if possible :-} |

try: https://www.upvc-hardware.co.uk/ Sorry about the crap description - I can't see quite what i'm after, but the centre latch keep assemblies have a "fill in" piece, and it's one of these i'm looking for, just can't see anything quite like what's already installed :-} Thanks for the link though ! |
